Wireless cable modem/router/firewall

can someone recommend me a wireless router with built in cable modem. Most of the devices ive seen are equiped with ADSL modems!

required features

• Wireless

• firewall

• router

• Built in cable modem

• fully telewest/blueyonder compatible

 

Modems, routers, and lag.

Modems connect to the internet

Routers Route the internet to individual devices ie Pc / tablet /phone /consul
sometimes ( most these days ) these functions are combined into one device as in Modem router

Is it a ISP Supplied equipment or Privatly owned
+

yes if its owned by your Landlord and they give you permission
Suggest a suitable one FOR THEM To BUY

For curtsy sake if you do replace the modem/router show the landlord where in the modem/router various passwords are set and allow them the privacy to set the passwords they need such as modem/router log on details. then go through the various options and settings with the landlord

you don't need the log on details for the modem router after its been set up all you need is the wireless key/encryption details

 

Is there a difference between plugging my Ethernet cable into the modem or into the router?

If you're using an Ethernet cable, it doesn't matter whether your router or modem is closer to your computer. Distance only matters for WiFi.

A modem and a router are two separate things. A modem is what enables you to connect to the internet. A router lets you share your internet connection among multiple devices..

If you only have one computer you don't need a router so you could plug your computer directly into your modem. However, even if you only have a single computer, many people like to place a router between their computer and their modem to take advantage
of the security features that a router provides.

While we're on the topic: Your internet speed is determined by your ISP. There is nothing that Windows can do to make your internet speed faster than what your ISP provides.
